that\u2019s golf.\u2019\u00a0 In other words, he knew I was reaching, but I guess desperate times (a lackluster PSP library) calls for desperate measures (playing golf games).<\/p>\n<p>The PSP library is just not that compelling.\u00a0 I think a NASCAR game would make for a nice way to waste some time on a plane; same for football (i.e. Madden).\u00a0 After that, I am not sure what else I am interested in play.\u00a0 There is Loco Roco, which looks interesting, but not $39.99 interesting.\u00a0 Same for GTA Vice City Stories, but that one is $49.99.\u00a0 Capcom and EA have classic collections; maybe b-day presents, but I decided to go all sports for this trip.<\/p>\n<p>It will be interesting to see if I finally give MLB a try, or pick up some of the other old games in my library.\u00a0 It is sad when Pinball Hall of Fame is still the most played game in my library, and future purchases (or b-day presents) are classic compilations.\u00a0 I think I would be more inclined to try more titles if they were priced at $19.99 \u2013 $29.99, but I am not going to try too many PSP titles if they are going to set me back $49.99 + tax (i.e. GTA Vice City Stories).<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With an upcoming trip to London looming (this weekend in fact) I decided it was time to pick up something new for the PSP.\u00a0 I do not think I have played the darn thing since my last trip, so it is more or less collecting dust.\u00a0 In other words, nothing exciting going on with portable &hellip;
